I wasn’t so sure this day would come but here it is. The gorgeous, green Porsche 918 Spyder is being upgraded from a concept model to production series. The 918 Spyder made its debut at this year’s Geneva Motor Show and made waves in the car industry due to its conventional hybrid nature. It’s powered by a 500HP V8 engine and a pair of 109HP electric motors. This hybrid powertrain promises to provide 78-mpg efficiency. Note that these numbers match up with the Geneva concept model; they may change slightly when the production model makes its way to the dealership. Release date and price has not been made official yet, but whispers say the green machine will cost around €500,000 (or $650,000 USD). If the car makes its way to the States, it will be eligible for a $7,500 federal tax credit, if that helps any. Look in the gallery below (warning: you may drool) and peek after the break for the official PR.
